You know what, though? We're always so fascinated with young people having learned to play well when that's how their brains work. They learn so much faster than older people, especially music because they're hardwired to learn language and music is a language, plus have the focused time available to commit to learning. Why is it not more fascinating for us to see people who've taken up playing at a later age jamming down? It might encourage those of us who put down our instruments young and weren't able to pick them up again until past our primes.
